Is it possible to create a seek and rename tool with maxscript?
I have hundreds scene groups with specifics names. I want to replace a “-s” by “-12” for all of them.
example name :
72001-S-4
72001-S-3
72002-S-01
72005-S-04
want this :
72001-12-4
72001-12-3
72002-12-01
72005-12-04
Thx guys
install the blur scripts pack (from scriptspot…?), there is a renamer script which does exactly what you want.
There is no error checking of course.
fn replaceStrFn inStr replaceStr newStr=
(
str=filterString inStr replaceStr
outStr=str[1]+newStr+str[2]
)
--test
inStr="72001-S-4"
replaceStr="-S-"
newStr="-12-"
replaceStrFn inStr replaceStr newStr
--Loop through a selection of objects and change their names.
For x in selection do (x.name=replaceStrFn x.name replaceStr newStr)
thx Paul, but I can t make it works
Can you ellaborate?
I first test the blur’s one. but Failed because only works for objects, no groups.
And then yours, whithout GUI, I don t understand very well because I m not a scripter. I test it in the Maxscript Listener window but nothing happened.
Hi, try this one i made some time ago:
you can customize the tools menu and add this or assign it to a hotkey or button (under category Zbuffer)
Zbuffer This is perfect. It works fine ! thx!! very time saver for me!
u can also try this script with a UI for renaming multiple objects:

can be used to rename all objects in the scene or to a selection.
